Magmortar is a devastating wallbreaker in NU thanks to its coverage that lets it threaten bulky Water-types as well as special walls, such as Assault Vest Slowbro, Slowking, and Druddigon, with powerful Z-Moves. Additionally, thanks to Taunt and its coverage options, Magmortar is a menace for defensive teams to deal with, since it can prevent Pokemon like Vaporeon and Mega Audino from recovering health with Wish. Magmortar can also take advantage of the combination of its typing and passable special bulk alongside a potential pinch Berry to check special attackers like Vanilluxe, Sceptile, and Whimsicott. Although Magmortar can pressure certain variants of Slowbro, as well as Delphox and Slowking, it struggles to beat them one-on-one; therefore, Pursuit trappers like Sneasel and Aerodactyl help to remove these threats for it. Late-game cleaners like Comfey and Choice Scarf Passimian are also good partners for Magmortar because they appreciate its ability to wallbreak early- and mid-game for them.
